years shipments Of coal will probably
reach 300,000 tons. The recent rains have

Saturday, September 10, were 60, ,252 tons,
and for the year TO that date, 2,l5l, ,0l4 tons,

with the corresponding period Of 1885. The
shipments to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road and local points for the week, 40, ,0i7
tons, and for the year, 1,744, ,ll0 tons, an

last year. The shipments to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal were for the week
1,126 tons, and for the year to that date
172,559 tons, an increase OF II, 107 tons as
compared with last year. The shipments to
the Pennsylvania Railroad for the week,
9,O79 tons, and for the year, 234 ,345 tons, an
increase Of 56,s60 tons as compared with
Last wear.

ence Committee of the two Houses on the
bill repeating the pre-emption, timber cul;-
ure and desert land laws held q two-hours'
session yesterday, and it is safe to say that
they are further from any argument than
ever, although it was hoped some basis for
settlement of differences between the two
Houses would be reached The conferrees
on the part of the House are Messrs. Cobb
Stone of Missouri and Strait. Cobb and
Stone have had several conferences with
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office within the past few days and ap-
peared at the committee meeting fully de-
termined to insist upon acquiescence in the
terms of the House bill. The Commits
sioner favors the extreme means of the
House bill, and in their discussion of the
bill Cobb and Stone quoted Sparks so fire.
quently that another member of the Con-
ference Committee intimated that they
must have slept with the Commissioner
the last night or two. Senator Dolph bore
most of the discussion on the part of the
Senate conferrees, and declined to yield any
of the salient points of the Senate bill,
which the House conferrees attacked. 1t
seems, however, that the eighth section of
the Senate bill, allowing contested cases to
be sent to the Courts would really prove
the rock on which these. measures would
eventually split The Senate is determined
to stick to this feature of its bill, and the
General Land Office is as firmly opposed to
it. Were this out of the way it is not un-
likely an understanding might eventually
be reached.
